ARMENIAN COMMUNITY IN KRASNODAR KRAI

Abstract

The article examines the formation of the Armenian community in the Krasnodar region, the migration and settlement of Armenians in the region, the Armenian community, and its support activities for Armenia. Today, the dynamics of migration processes in Krasnodar Krai, a federal entity within the North Caucasus economic region, one of the 12 economic regions of the Russian Federation, is high. International migration is dominated by migrants from Ukraine and Armenia. The reason for the influx of Armenians to these regions is the stable social and political situation, developed agro-industrial and resort complex, favorable climatic conditions, and developed transport infrastructure. Armenians not only from Armenia but also from different parts of the world have established their communities in Krasnodar Krai. Currently, the Armenian community is in second place in Krasnodar Krai. Thus, during public opinion polls on the situation of migrants, Kubans are confident that the vast majority of migrants coming to the region for permanent residence are Armenians. The Armenian community in Krasnodar Krai is developing rapidly. The Armenian community in the Kuban is so large that several hundred Armenian villages and about twenty Armenian
churches have already been built here. Armenians have become the second-largest community in Krasnodar Krai after the Russians. They control the most successful business structures in Kuban cities.
